Great as a soup ingredient, excellent accompaniment to boiled ham, pork etc. Still very big in Northumberland obviously hasn’t migrated to the North West yet. You need a Stottie filled with Pork and liquid from roasting dish, pease pudding and English mustard, dogs’ bollox !
Yep. I'm 64 now. south east Londoner and my mum used to make this along with boiled ham. Spot on for Sunday dinner. From memory it was split peas that were steamed in a muslin cloth probably on to of the ham as it was boiling. As others said ham would have been put in the pot with onions, then carrots and potatoes added as it cooked. The pease pudding would be scraped out of the cloth and mashed in a bowl. The meat when cooked would fall apart. The juice that was left made a great gravy. I can almost taste it now. Yum Yum
When money was short I the 1980,s I always kept a tin of Peas Pudding in for the weekend salad teas. I would buy Ham Pieces from the Indoor Market . A piece of cucumber and scallions in a vinegar sauce with mint. 2 tomatoes each cut into 8 pieces. 2 - 4 boiled eggs , Home made Coleslaw and potato salad and you had a good meal for the weekend. With a Warburtons Milk Roll you were sorted. Home made Trifle for dessert .
I mum always made the peace pudding using split pleas in a cloth with the bacon as it was cooking then mash it gorgeous stuff why you keep moaning about it is strange and it is never eaten on a cracker that's stupid
Pease Pudding hot Pease Pudding cold Pease Pudding in the pot Nine days old We used to sing it at school I did leave the same comment on Facebook just in case you thought it was strange 😂
Thanks for the memories, my grandma who was from the northeast used to cook this from raw split peas and we'd have this hot or cold especially with boiled ham.....lovely!
i live near Durham, in the North East , in a small town called Chester le street. i regularly buy peas pudding, from lidels, in a small plastic container, that can be resealed, at half the price of that tin. locally made, as well. lovely, with breaded ham, in a greggs stottie, or flat cake, as there sometimes known. love the channel. 🤔 👍
I'm a Southerner born and bred, but my paternal grandmother was from the North East and she'd serve pease pudding with the Christmas lunch to go with the roast gammon. A great snack item from up there is a Saveloy Dip - a bread roll with a saveloy, stuffing, pease pudding, gravy and mustard. So nice.
Used to have it when I was a little boy in London. We had it as a takeaway from a local butchers, with saveloys, which are a type of sausage. Delicious. I haven't had it for a long time but it was nice to be reminded of it. Brought back some pleasant memories.
Than you for this, gave me a new insight into this product. I’ve never wanted to try this. I grew up in North Wales and my Mum used to sing a song that started; ‘Pease pudding hot, Pease pudding cold, Pease pudding in a pot, Nine days old.’ Nine days??? You can keep that in the pot and not on my plate!
As a non pork eater I like it with chicken or cheese, lovely cold Aldi sell it in a plastic tub. I am from Middlesbrough and generally here it goes with ham in a sandwich or savaliys ,enjoy and thank you for the video xx
I've heard of it, but can't recollect seeing it in the supermarket. Must admit I'm intrigued. I'll look out for it when I next shop. Thanks Gareth, entertaining and informative as always!
Fabulous stuff this. I've loved it for years, ideal for taking camping as well 😀 it tastes superb cold as well, put it in the fridge for a few hours and then spread it on some bread it's off the charts and tastes delicious on bread 😋
I haven't bought peas pudding for a while, but here's my suggestion. Yellow split pea soup and Yellow split pea dahl. For the soup, fry an onion, then garlic. Add the split peas, maybe a pint or so of water, a couple of table spoons of marigold vegetable bullion, or a couple of vegetable stock cubes, salt and pepper to taste, let simmer, blend witha blender and serve. For a dahl, add curry powder, creamed coconut and maybe less water. Serve with Roti bread! 😊
I remember this growing up in The East End. They used to sell it freshly cooked with Saveloys outside the butcher's shop in Chatsworth Rd, Clapton. On a cold morning the steam would rise up and you could take it home in time for lunch or warm again for the evening. Saveloys or Bacon joint accompaniment. This was soon after the war when some things were still on ration or difficult to get or even afford. It was filling and nutritious. Now't wrong wi' it! Lovely! XXX
I wonder if that was where my dad got them, he came from Clapton and often brought home amazing savaloys, much nicer than those today. That would be in the sixties.
great to see, now see other ways to enjoy. we have gammon and savaloy, mash and peas with gravy made from the liquor of carrots onions black pepper corns that was used to cook the gammon. we enjoy every moment and to give us new products to try. good luck to yourself and family. sarn & bill
I've been seeing tins of pease pudding in the shops for years and always wondered what it would be like. Now I'm glad I never bought it to see. Thanks Gareth, you've saved me 80p. 😄
Often this channel is as much about the nostalgia of what we eat in our lives as about the food that Gareth reviews. Today I got those Bells Scotch pies from Farmfoods and now pease pudding is on my list. Since I starting watching Bald Foodie Guy over a year ago I've tried a number of foods I never knew existed.
I always have a tin or 3 in the cupboard .I love it ,useful longlife veg option . My mate uses it as a base for an Indian dahl , pretty tasty and super easy .
Great video Gareth! Brought back some memories 😅 Growing up, both my parents are from the North East and we would often have Pease pudding cold on our ham sandwiches with a bit of white pepper. Can't go wrong! 😋
Hi Mate, very much a north east thing, great used instead of butter on a ham sandwich! You used to be able to buy it hot and home made from Butchers shops in Consett when I was a kid. I remember it as often appearing as part of the buffet after a funeral!
I'm from Birmingham, this was very popular when I was a youngster in the 50s. My grandad called it pease pottage, and ate it spread on crumpets, which he called pikelets. I had some a few weeks back along with sliced Krakow sausage from Lidl, and tinned potatoes.
Absolutely essential with Christmas dinner every year. Growing up in Southend Essex. Can label has hardly changed in 60 years. Not always available rest of the year. Love it ...going try making my own....made with dried split peas...
I remember the kids nursery rhyme about Pease Pudding. Do you? Pease pudding hot Pease pudding cold Pease pudding in the pot Nine days old Some like it hot Some like it cold Some like it in the pot Nine days old. Such Fun 😊
Pease pudding has to be served with gammon, boiled and buttered new potatoes, and buttered carrots ........ One of my favourite meals! Yummmmm 😁. I grew up eating it. My mum was from east London (Stepney) but she moved to Essex (Chigwell) before I was born, which is where I lived until 2000 🙂. We also had a lot of pie, mash & liquor with chilli vinegar, and jellied eels with pepper & vinegar were also favourites. My mum liked tripe and onions but I hated that. She made it from scratch. Soft herring roes on toast I still love, but it's hard to get hold of them. We always had seafood for tea on Sundays too with whelks, prawns, cockles, winkles and jellied eels -. You've made me feel all nostalgic 😂
I use it as a quick and easy daal. When having it with a dry curry or just rice, if you want something spicy and need something a bit wet (!) Simply add a small amount of tumeric, add some water and bring it almost to the boil. Fry some garlic and onion till browned, add to the daal, throw on some fresh corriander leaves and away you go! We had Pease pudding (back in the 60's and 70's) at School dinners, we also bought this brand for home use, comes in the half size tins too (in fact I've got one in the cupboard), I'm surprised you hadn't seen it or had it before, It's not just a Northern thing, I am in London and certainly, many people used it back then. Anyway, enjoyed the video - good fun. Keep up the good work.
I'm surprised you never heard of pease pudding before. My primary school and secondary school in Kent served pease pudding quite frequently because it's cheap, but highly nutritious. However, I also haven't eaten it for 60 years, so it's going on my shopping list for next week. As I recall from school, the pease pudding we got was slightly runny compared to that tin, but one could experiment by adding a tablespoon of boiling water as it's heating. According to Wikipedia pease pudding has been around since the 14th century in the North-East.
Pease pudding and potted ham and beetroot Sangers was my fave as a kid... Great grub!... the yellow split peas was the only bought ingredient...everything else was home grown and home made and home baked! 👍
My parents were from the North East, so I had this as a kid. It's made from dried yellow split peas that have to be soaked in water overnight. I don't make it now, but occasionally I will buy a box of marrowfat peas and soak them overnight. These are our traditions going back to ancient times that are disappearing.
I'm from Newcastle, and as loads of people have already mentioned, in the North East, Pease Pudding is often eaten in sandwiches with Sliced ham or pork, eg a ham and pease pudding sandwich/stottie. Have never had the tinned stuff, its generally a small tub from the chiller section in the supermarket. Eaten cold, but goes well with hot sausages or gammon too... or Savaloys. Not sure i've ever seen a serving suggestion like on the tin.. in a vol au vent??!! Kinda intrigued to try it warm with fish and chips though, as a change to mushy peas.
Great part of a boiled ham dinner along with boiled onions, boiled potatoes ( whole or mashed with butter ) steamed, carrots,swede, cabbage and turnip, use onion water mixed with Bisto powder for gravy! Great winter dinner 👍👌
My aunt used to make pease fritters in the cob oven on a Friday night as I was a vegetarian this was a real treat on a Friday night with a fried egg whilst everyone on camp had pease and fish
It is a very good addition to anyone who is trying to lose weight. Quick and tasty, slow carb. If your only carbs is legumes you can lose weight real easy
I remember the old rhyme: Pease pudding hot Pease pudding cold Pease pudding in the pot Nine days old My old dad used to slice it cold and fry it off in bacon fat with his breakfast, delicious and I also like it warm with pepper and vinegar Cheers bonnie lad 😁
I eat this all the time, its great as a spread in sandwiches, I mainly put ham or savaloy sausage with it. My nana used to make me a fried egg and pease pudding sandwich when I would go round on the weekends, it was lush, I still make them as a treat now and again. Thanks for the review. (Yes we get this in our chippys)
Cor Blimey, Gareth ! Blast from the Past, or what ! Same label on tin as well as to early 1970's. Remember trying this as a kid when watching Banana Splits on TV. Can't remember what it tasted like. Great video, thank you ! 👏👍😉
My wife is from Durham and frequently bemoans the lack of pease pudding elsewhere. The best is always made by your local butcher using his own ham stock. Makes a great sandwich with warm, sliced pork.
Well, I'm just about as far south as you can get i.e. 2 miles further south and I'd be in the English Channel, but I can get it here in the supermarkets.
We always had pease pudding with gammon when I was younger, and was going to get a tin recently but couldn’t remember what it tasted like lol so didn’t get it, so I’m glad your reviewing it, I will get some now to go with my gammon joint. I’m from Essex Gareth 😊
Great review as always. I remember the first time i came across it, visiting friends in Seaham NE over 30 yrs ago and they made me ham and pease pudding buttties. I was really alarmed. I thought they had given me mouldy bread as they never explained haha and i'd never seen and was too polite to ask. I was young! 🤣
Yes indeed! I have visited Greece many times over the years, Fava is always on restaurant menus.. It's basically yellow split pea puree, Which is what Pease pudding is.. But much nicer lol I loved it. Mushy peas here in UK is also a pea puree but using marrowfat peas. Split pea puree has been a thing for centuries originating from Greece and spread throughout Europe and Asia.
Popular in the east end of London as well, things like saveloys and pease pudding, or boiled hock of bacon and pease pudding, mash, carrots and cabbage, used the bacon hock juice to make the gravy, you don't have a big amount use just like a normal veg serving ...things like that was a normal dinner years ago, think it is made from bean, so it is good for you..and it is pronounced peece pudding
Geordie lad here. Peas pud is a staple in a lot of North East homes. It's gorgeous!! Has to be served either in a nice big stottie with plenty butter and thick cut ham. Cold ham and a thick spread of peas pud. Amazing! 😋. Either that or on a hot saveloy dip sarnie in with stuffling and French or American mustard. Unreal!! 😋
Hi Gareth, I had not realised that there was such a food-divide between the NE and NW! In Durham I was brought up on pease pudding and ham sandwiches, hot pease pudding and faggots in thick gravy was always a favourite meal. I am slowly but surely bringing the same culture to China😂 Fresh from the butchers shop was always best but there was always a tin on the shelf for stand-by. The first time I heard my mother use the f-word was when she was making her own and a failure of the pressure cooker led to the kitchen ceiling being re-decorated with hot pease pudding!!!
My wife's family are all londoners and they all go on about pease pudding. I'm from the South Coast and never heard of it until about 6 years ago. I think a good comparison for Gareth would be jellied eels, whelks and winkles. If he's anything like me it will be worth watching to see his face. 🤣
Hi Gareth. Pease pudding is very common here in the County Durham, North East. It’s been around for years. I’ve never had it out of a tin though. Not sure about the Vol-au-vents idea. It’s normally available in plastic tubs from the supermarket or local butchers. I’ve always had it cold either in a sandwich with ham or bacon/sausage. It goes well with a portion of chips. There used to be a shop that was near me that did. Pork and Pease Pudding sandwiches with savoury dip/gravy. 😀
Hi Gareth, Over 60 years ago in London just off the Old Kent Road was Bert's fish and chip bar. I used to love chips a saveloy and pease pudding all for 1 shilling (5p) when ever I had a bob or two that's what I ate. We used to call him Dirty Bert but when you're young you'd eat anything. Still had rations back then.
We loved pease pudding and often had it growing up. The boiled meat would be something like a piece of boiled bacon or gammon.....mum would cook this for breakfast too, warm it up in a saucepan with a large knob of butter, plenty of white pepper, she would also add freshly chopped tomatoes and cook them in. We would eat it with crispy bacon, sausage, fried eggs and toast, it was delicious. I haven't had it for years though as I'd be the only one eating it lol!
@@BaldFoodieGuy try it with hot buttered toast with some crispy bacon on the side Gareth, don't forget a knob of butter and some white pepper added whilst warming it up. As for the crackers, we never ate it on crackers lol!
That would be a nice thickener/addition in a soup or stew. I am going to get some and try it as got some ideas for that. Glad you liked it bud. All the best.
Great video as always. I used to have it on a ham butty for my carryout when I worked in the north east, I'll have to see if I can get some. Ham and Pease Pudding butty was my staple for 2 years up there!
Pease pudding is an absolute bargain and can be used for many things as others have indicated. I use it as a base for curry sauce. I lived in Geordie land for 11 years and they use it in traditional ways. The only place l can find it where l live is in posh Waitrose. So it seems the well heeled of Chester have discovered it
I have heard of it, never had it. This one of the funniest vids for a while 😂 loved the eighties memories (vol a vents) not sure I want to try it (pease pudding) but not your fault Gareth 😊 thanks for vid. ❤
I'm originally from Northumberland and it's popular there with stottie and cold sliced boiled ham. As a boy at the coop we sold these tins and opened a few and displayed it in a perspex container, one day a lady asked for some but refused the tinned as it wasn't as good as the "fresh" I went with a tin to the rear of the store which I opened and wrapped the contents in grease proof paper, " aye ye can tell the difference" she said" 😊
I'm from the north east, Durham. This would added to a boiled ham sandwich, with plenty of salt. Delicious, never served hot always cold. Years ago, even in Preston, Morrisons used to have it on their deli counter, It is possible that they still do in the north east as it is much more popular there.
Gareth, I do believe you've just put Pease Pudding back on the map for those who've forgotten and for those who are about to embark on a new adventure. It's been 2 decades since I last heard of it. I remember my Manchester mate telling me about it and how much he missed it living in Australia. I wonder if our Taste or Ireland online store stocks it 🤔 Another great find to review today Gareth. Keep them coming. Cheers 👍😀🤤 Btw. Remember when I told you the price of Paxo in Australia? Well one of the supermarket chains has it on clearance @ .38 cents per pack. A huge difference from $5.00 per pack. So I bought a few 👍😀
Ive been eating Pease Pudding for over 50 yr in the North East Best way to eat this fry some bacon and with the left over fat fry the pease pudding in the fat to soften it then add it to your bacon roll or sandwich 10/10 Also nice with boiled ham in a roll Ham and Pease Pudding sandwiches are still available in Sunderland in most butcher shops preferably a stottie cake which is a flat bread
I'm Scottish but live in the North East now...I'm on board with Pease Pudding...smashing on a Stottie with ham. The chilled stuff made by Durham foods is the best, in my opinion. I've never had it warm, always cold for me.
Lived in Middlesbrough for 18 months a few years ago. I'd heard of pease pudding but never had it before I moved there and I loved it. Perfect in a ham sandwich with crusty white bread. I've got a life hack for you, to stop cans rolling away......... sit it on the flat bottom 🤣
@Bald Foodie Guy just noticed this channel has turned to smut..... you've made a #@*£ and %&#@'s out of the can and satsumas and a pair of @#&'s with the tomatos on cracker 🙈🤣
Fresh peas pudding is a northern delicacy. Ham and peas pudding sandwich is delicious. You can make your own by cooking split peas. My dad used to boil a ham hock, bacon ribs or just used a ham stock cube.
Pease with an "e", typical northern working class food of old, sometimes called Tynside Pate or Geordie Caviar. Best served alongside and made with stock from a Ham Hock.
Grew up eating this with saveloys and mushy peas that me ol mum used to do for me back in the 70s....that can has been out for years Gareth old son 😵💫
I'm in the north west, but have been eating Pease Pudding all my life. My Nan was a Geordie though, so perhaps that's why. A slice of really thick toast, well buttered and topped with sliced Pease Pudding, thick cut ham and mustard, delicious!
My mum is obsessed by this stuff she will go to the ends of the earth to get it! They hardly sell it here now in the south of England. We used to have it as kids with beef stew and dumplings - as kids we all hated it!!
Hi Gareth , put the Pease Pudding with some Saveloys, you can get a pack of 4 in Heron foods for just over a quid, i eat it all the time. Enjoying the channel. Keep going mate 👍🏻
Never realised this was a local thing. I thought everyone ate it. Spread cold on toast as you would jam and a sprinkle of salt. Hot with a savaloy in a bun or cold with ham. To be honest, I keep a tin in the cupboard just in case I don't have the fresh variety in. The tinned is harder texture and in my opinion not as nice. Lidl and aldi sell plastic tubs next to their hams and is much nicer than the tins, but the best is from a pork and ham shop. I'm sure the girls at school used to skip to a song they sang about peas pudding hot, please pudding cold, peas pudding in the pot nine days old. Cheers mate, keep em coming.
When I was a kid - 4,000 years or so ago - my mum often used to take me to a chippy in an East End of London street market. If I was a good boy and well behaved while she looked around the market, my reward would be a nice hot saveloy, pease pudding & faggots from that chippy! Delish!! The only downside was that she didn’t have a lot of dosh, so I had to share it half and half with my brother, which I resented a lot!! I still nag him about it today, the greedy bugger!! 🙈😂😂😂 Thanks for the review mate. I’ll have to hunt these down and give ‘em a try! 👍🏻 Regards, Dave
Cant beat a ham and pease pud stottie with english mustard . Love it My friend makes little patties with them and frys them with his breakfast . All the best from newcastle upon tyne . Good vid keep up the good work . From Keith
Hi I'm from Newcastle and we used to eat pease pudding with ham in a stotty sandwich or just on a plate with salad cold meats and bread absolutely delicious Keep up the lovely videos I watch every day as I now live in Spain Lovely regards Eileen x
Ahhh man. Nothing better than a pease pudding and ham sarnie for your bait. Best fresh from a deli but I was brought up with the tinned stuff in the sixties 👍
There’s an old Nursery Rhyme to that. Must give a try, probably had this when I was little, and would still like, I’m a Yorkshire Lass who loves her Mushy Peas.
Great as a soup ingredient, excellent accompaniment to boiled ham, pork etc. Still very big in Northumberland obviously hasn’t migrated to the North West yet. You need a Stottie filled with Pork and liquid from roasting dish, pease pudding and English mustard, dogs’ bollox !

Pease pudding and saveloy...can't be beaten! A favourite treat growing up in East London in the 60s!
ham and pease pudding sandwiches, a must for any geordie
I remember that! I even had it in bread. Peas pudding sandwiches! I think mum and dad were hard up in those days. Didn’t bother me I was just a kid.

We also had a lot of pie, mash & liquor with chilli vinegar, and jellied eels with pepper & vinegar were also favourites. My mum liked tripe and onions but I hated that. She made it from scratch. Soft herring roes on toast I still love, but it's hard to get hold of them. We always had seafood for tea on Sundays too with whelks, prawns, cockles, winkles and jellied eels -. You've made me feel all nostalgic 😂
Thank you kindly.
Wow! Love this! 😊⭐🧡
I use it as a quick and easy daal. When having it with a dry curry or just rice, if you want something spicy and need something a bit wet (!) Simply add a small amount of tumeric, add some water and bring it almost to the boil. Fry some garlic and onion till browned, add to the daal, throw on some fresh corriander leaves and away you go! We had Pease pudding (back in the 60's and 70's) at School dinners, we also bought this brand for home use, comes in the half size tins too (in fact I've got one in the cupboard), I'm surprised you hadn't seen it or had it before, It's not just a Northern thing, I am in London and certainly, many people used it back then. Anyway, enjoyed the video - good fun. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😊
I'm surprised you never heard of pease pudding before. My primary school and secondary school in Kent served pease pudding quite frequently because it's cheap, but highly nutritious. However, I also haven't eaten it for 60 years, so it's going on my shopping list for next week. As I recall from school, the pease pudding we got was slightly runny compared to that tin, but one could experiment by adding a tablespoon of boiling water as it's heating.
According to Wikipedia pease pudding has been around since the 14th century in the North-East.
Yes I'm in North West, never had it over here.
Can’t beat a boiled ham sandwich with pease pudding, delicious!
Pease pudding and potted ham and beetroot Sangers was my fave as a kid... Great grub!... the yellow split peas was the only bought ingredient...everything else was home grown and home made and home baked! 👍
So good!
My parents were from the North East, so I had this as a kid. It's made from dried yellow split peas that have to be soaked in water overnight. I don't make it now, but occasionally I will buy a box of marrowfat peas and soak them overnight. These are our traditions going back to ancient times that are disappearing.
I'm from Newcastle, and as loads of people have already mentioned, in the North East, Pease Pudding is often eaten in sandwiches with Sliced ham or pork, eg a ham and pease pudding sandwich/stottie. Have never had the tinned stuff, its generally a small tub from the chiller section in the supermarket. Eaten cold, but goes well with hot sausages or gammon too... or Savaloys. Not sure i've ever seen a serving suggestion like on the tin.. in a vol au vent??!! Kinda intrigued to try it warm with fish and chips though, as a change to mushy peas.
Cheers MJ
@@BaldFoodieGuy When heating it up in the pan melt a little butter first - It is the danglers!
My mum also used to make this in the water from a bacon hock 🤣 it's boggin 🤣🤣 but quite nutritious, she was a Durham lass, hard as nails 🖖
Haha thank you
Great part of a boiled ham dinner along with boiled onions, boiled potatoes ( whole or mashed with butter ) steamed, carrots,swede, cabbage and turnip, use onion water mixed with Bisto powder for gravy! Great winter dinner 👍👌
Sounds great!
My aunt used to make pease fritters in the cob oven on a Friday night as I was a vegetarian this was a real treat on a Friday night with a fried egg whilst everyone on camp had pease and fish
It is a very good addition to anyone who is trying to lose weight. Quick and tasty, slow carb. If your only carbs is legumes you can lose weight real easy
I remember the old rhyme:
Pease pudding hot
Pease pudding cold
Pease pudding in the pot
Nine days old
My old dad used to slice it cold and fry it off in bacon fat with his breakfast, delicious and I also like it warm with pepper and vinegar
Cheers bonnie lad 😁
Cheers Phil
Thanks! Was torture trying to remember this. Never eaten it but somehow I learnt the rhyme ..... in the seventies lol
Came to the comments to say this too, I’ve never eaten it but knew the rhyme 😂
Very interesting, that's something i have not seen before. I hope you enjoy your afternoon with the family.
Yes, thank you
I'm from east London,i love pease pudding ! thereis always a tin in the cupboard 😋
I eat this all the time, its great as a spread in sandwiches, I mainly put ham or savaloy sausage with it. My nana used to make me a fried egg and pease pudding sandwich when I would go round on the weekends, it was lush, I still make them as a treat now and again. Thanks for the review. (Yes we get this in our chippys)
Nice one Chris
Make your own with the liquid off a ham joint then chop ham up finely and mix it in! Fantastic on crusty bread or a stotty if ya can get hold of one.
Cheers Jay
Cor Blimey, Gareth ! Blast from the Past, or what ! Same label on tin as well as to early 1970's. Remember trying this as a kid when watching Banana Splits on TV. Can't remember what it tasted like. Great video, thank you ! 👏👍😉
Thanks for the info!
My mother used to buy this it was a hit and miss with me but Dad loved it 🤣🤣
My wife is from Durham and frequently bemoans the lack of pease pudding elsewhere. The best is always made by your local butcher using his own ham stock. Makes a great sandwich with warm, sliced pork.
Thank you kindly
Well, I'm just about as far south as you can get i.e. 2 miles further south and I'd be in the English Channel, but I can get it here in the supermarkets.
Same here we always had it with bacon and onion Roly poly suet pudding
We always had pease pudding with gammon when I was younger, and was going to get a tin recently but couldn’t remember what it tasted like lol so didn’t get it, so I’m glad your reviewing it, I will get some now to go with my gammon joint. I’m from Essex Gareth 😊
Cheers Iris
Great review as always. I remember the first time i came across it, visiting friends in Seaham NE over 30 yrs ago and they made me ham and pease pudding buttties. I was really alarmed. I thought they had given me mouldy bread as they never explained haha and i'd never seen and was too polite to ask. I was young! 🤣
Thanks for sharing!
Looked at it for years in the supermarket..... definitely gonna try it,great review 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
In Greece it's called Fava. It's on every taverna menu. Eaten as an appetizer with bread. You need a few drops of olive oil to slacken it out a bit
Is that the same Fava Hannible Lector had with his Chianti?
Most likely
Yes indeed! I have visited Greece many times over the years, Fava is always on restaurant menus.. It's basically yellow split pea puree, Which is what Pease pudding is.. But much nicer lol I loved it. Mushy peas here in UK is also a pea puree but using marrowfat peas. Split pea puree has been a thing for centuries originating from Greece and spread throughout Europe and Asia.
Yes it is. I have lived in Greece for 16 years and eat it on a regular basis
Popular in the east end of London as well, things like saveloys and pease pudding, or boiled hock of bacon and pease pudding, mash, carrots and cabbage, used the bacon hock juice to make the gravy, you don't have a big amount use just like a normal veg serving ...things like that was a normal dinner years ago, think it is made from bean, so it is good for you..and it is pronounced peece pudding
Nice one
Ha I'm so glad you tried it first!..I actually have a tin of it here in Australia and wasn't sure what I was in for 😂💖xxxxx
Haha cheers
Geordie lad here. Peas pud is a staple in a lot of North East homes. It's gorgeous!! Has to be served either in a nice big stottie with plenty butter and thick cut ham. Cold ham and a thick spread of peas pud. Amazing! 😋.
Either that or on a hot saveloy dip sarnie in with stuffling and French or American mustard. Unreal!! 😋
Sounds great!
Hi Gareth, I had not realised that there was such a food-divide between the NE and NW! In Durham I was brought up on pease pudding and ham sandwiches, hot pease pudding and faggots in thick gravy was always a favourite meal. I am slowly but surely bringing the same culture to China😂 Fresh from the butchers shop was always best but there was always a tin on the shelf for stand-by. The first time I heard my mother use the f-word was when she was making her own and a failure of the pressure cooker led to the kitchen ceiling being re-decorated with hot pease pudding!!!
Yes big divide isn't it. Your only the other side from me. Its good isn't it.
Me too live in Consett Co Durham
My wife's family are all londoners and they all go on about pease pudding. I'm from the South Coast and never heard of it until about 6 years ago. I think a good comparison for Gareth would be jellied eels, whelks and winkles. If he's anything like me it will be worth watching to see his face. 🤣
Hi Gareth. Pease pudding is very common here in the County Durham, North East. It’s been around for years. I’ve never had it out of a tin though. Not sure about the Vol-au-vents idea. It’s normally available in plastic tubs from the supermarket or local butchers. I’ve always had it cold either in a sandwich with ham or bacon/sausage. It goes well with a portion of chips. There used to be a shop that was near me that did. Pork and Pease Pudding sandwiches with savoury dip/gravy. 😀
Interesting that you have them in Durham. I haven’t seen them in Newcastle yet. Not at my local stores.
Cheers Grez. Thank you. 😊
Live in Consett Co Durham. Brought up on ham and pease pudding stotties
Fantastic stuff! First had it, in Crook, at a Pie & Pudding Night, in a Social Club.
Cheers John
Hi Gareth, Over 60 years ago in London just off the Old Kent Road was Bert's fish and chip bar. I used to love chips a saveloy and pease pudding all for 1 shilling (5p) when ever I had a bob or two that's what I ate. We used to call him Dirty Bert but when you're young you'd eat anything. Still had rations back then.
Cheers pal
We loved pease pudding and often had it growing up. The boiled meat would be something like a piece of boiled bacon or gammon.....mum would cook this for breakfast too, warm it up in a saucepan with a large knob of butter, plenty of white pepper, she would also add freshly chopped tomatoes and cook them in. We would eat it with crispy bacon, sausage, fried eggs and toast, it was delicious. I haven't had it for years though as I'd be the only one eating it lol!
Cheers James not seen it until now.
@@BaldFoodieGuy try it with hot buttered toast with some crispy bacon on the side Gareth, don't forget a knob of butter and some white pepper added whilst warming it up. As for the crackers, we never ate it on crackers lol!
Used with fish/chips touch off vinegar Newcastle. Loves it called pease pudding/Roast beef pease pudding in astottie nice
It’s cracking fried on a bacon butty with a stotty
I always thought pease pudding was just a nursery rhyme!
Pease pudding hot
Pease pudding cold
Pease pudding in the pot, nine days old
😊
That's what I thought of when I saw the thumbnail.
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot, nine days old.
Cheers
Nice with sausage mash n onions/gravy. Was raised on this in the 60/70's e. London. Still eat it now and then. Warm gently, essential!
Sounds great!
That would be a nice thickener/addition in a soup or stew. I am going to get some and try it as got some ideas for that. Glad you liked it bud. All the best.
Cheers Adz, all the best pal.
You can easily make your own Pease Pudding using Yellow Split Peas in a slowcooker
Down south we used to get pea fritters ...very tasty
Thanks 😊
Great video as always.
I used to have it on a ham butty for my carryout when I worked in the north east, I'll have to see if I can get some.
Ham and Pease Pudding butty was my staple for 2 years up there!
Cheers Billy
There is usually a tin of this in my cupboard and is an ideal quick heat and snack if you don't want to spend time cooking. Delicious peasy taste 😋
That's a great idea!
Pease pudding is an absolute bargain and can be used for many things as others have indicated. I use it as a base for curry sauce. I lived in Geordie land for 11 years and they use it in traditional ways. The only place l can find it where l live is in posh Waitrose. So it seems the well heeled of Chester have discovered it
Cheers Jon
Hot Pease pudding and boiled ham or bacon… beautiful. I always have a tin of this in the cupboard. It also goes nice with frankfurters.
I have heard of it, never had it. This one of the funniest vids for a while 😂 loved the eighties memories (vol a vents) not sure I want to try it (pease pudding) but not your fault Gareth 😊 thanks for vid. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm originally from Northumberland and it's popular there with stottie and cold sliced boiled ham. As a boy at the coop we sold these tins and opened a few and displayed it in a perspex container, one day a lady asked for some but refused the tinned as it wasn't as good as the "fresh" I went with a tin to the rear of the store which I opened and wrapped the contents in grease proof paper, " aye ye can tell the difference" she said" 😊
Thanks 😊
I'm from the north east, Durham. This would added to a boiled ham sandwich, with plenty of salt. Delicious, never served hot always cold. Years ago, even in Preston, Morrisons used to have it on their deli counter, It is possible that they still do in the north east as it is much more popular there.
Cheers Eric
A staple from greggs along with a stotty and savaloy
Love these, nice with bangers and gravy. Very old, you may recall the old school song, peas pudding hot peas pudding cold
Cheers pal
Gareth, I do believe you've just put Pease Pudding back on the map for those who've forgotten and for those who are about to embark on a new adventure.
It's been 2 decades since I last heard of it. I remember my Manchester mate telling me about it and how much he missed it living in Australia.
I wonder if our Taste or Ireland online store stocks it 🤔
Another great find to review today Gareth.
Keep them coming.
Cheers 👍😀🤤
Btw. Remember when I told you the price of Paxo in Australia? Well one of the supermarket chains has it on clearance @ .38 cents per pack. A huge difference from $5.00 per pack. So I bought a few 👍😀
Cheers John thank you kindly pal. 🙏
Ive been eating Pease Pudding for over 50 yr in the North East Best way to eat this fry some bacon and with the left over fat fry the pease pudding in the fat to soften it then add it to your bacon roll or sandwich 10/10 Also nice with boiled ham in a roll Ham and Pease Pudding sandwiches are still available in Sunderland in most butcher shops preferably a stottie cake which is a flat bread
Cheers Telly
Sounds delicious, mum would sometimes cook it this way and we would also eat it with butchers sausages. 😋
@@luvuforeverjames Yea great with Sausages also
That's so informative. I remember the nursery rhymes from decades ago but never knew what it was
Thanks 😊
I'm Scottish but live in the North East now...I'm on board with Pease Pudding...smashing on a Stottie with ham. The chilled stuff made by Durham foods is the best, in my opinion. I've never had it warm, always cold for me.
Cheers Kris
Lived in Middlesbrough for 18 months a few years ago. I'd heard of pease pudding but never had it before I moved there and I loved it. Perfect in a ham sandwich with crusty white bread.
I've got a life hack for you, to stop cans rolling away......... sit it on the flat bottom 🤣
Haha good tip 👌 🤣
@Bald Foodie Guy just noticed this channel has turned to smut..... you've made a #@*£ and %&#@'s out of the can and satsumas and a pair of @#&'s with the tomatos on cracker 🙈🤣
Fresh peas pudding is a northern delicacy. Ham and peas pudding sandwich is delicious. You can make your own by cooking split peas. My dad used to boil a ham hock, bacon ribs or just used a ham stock cube.
Thanks for the tips!
You know the score 👌
Pease with an "e", typical northern working class food of old, sometimes called Tynside Pate or Geordie Caviar. Best served alongside and made with stock from a Ham Hock.
Grew up eating this with saveloys and mushy peas that me ol mum used to do for me back in the 70s....that can has been out for years Gareth old son 😵💫
Yeah I’m a mackem northerner this is bees knees
Thankyou
I thought it was tasteless when I tried it for the first time a couple years ago 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌👌
My pleasure 😊
I'm in the north west, but have been eating Pease Pudding all my life. My Nan was a Geordie though, so perhaps that's why.
A slice of really thick toast, well buttered and topped with sliced Pease Pudding, thick cut ham and mustard, delicious!
Thanks for sharing!
I must say I am gonna have too try this now! I've heard of it being a olden day delicacy so gotta give it a go! 👌👍👊
Hope you enjoy
My mum is obsessed by this stuff she will go to the ends of the earth to get it! They hardly sell it here now in the south of England.
We used to have it as kids with beef stew and dumplings - as kids we all hated it!!
Thank you
Just make some, it's easy peasy! 😄 I'd never have it out of a tin anyway, nothing like the real thing 🙂
Hi Gareth , put the Pease Pudding with some Saveloys, you can get a pack of 4 in Heron foods for just over a quid, i eat it all the time. Enjoying the channel. Keep going mate 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip!
Never realised this was a local thing. I thought everyone ate it. Spread cold on toast as you would jam and a sprinkle of salt. Hot with a savaloy in a bun or cold with ham. To be honest, I keep a tin in the cupboard just in case I don't have the fresh variety in. The tinned is harder texture and in my opinion not as nice. Lidl and aldi sell plastic tubs next to their hams and is much nicer than the tins, but the best is from a pork and ham shop. I'm sure the girls at school used to skip to a song they sang about peas pudding hot, please pudding cold, peas pudding in the pot nine days old. Cheers mate, keep em coming.
Believe it or not I remember the girl skipping in zambia in the 60s. I was born in zambia in 59.
Wierd feeling. I don't feel like a 60 some thing
When I was a kid - 4,000 years or so ago - my mum often used to take me to a chippy in an East End of London street market.
If I was a good boy and well behaved while she looked around the market, my reward would be a nice hot saveloy, pease pudding & faggots from that chippy!
Delish!!
The only downside was that she didn’t have a lot of dosh, so I had to share it half and half with my brother, which I resented a lot!!
I still nag him about it today, the greedy bugger!! 🙈😂😂😂
Thanks for the review mate. I’ll have to hunt these down and give ‘em a try! 👍🏻 Regards, Dave
Haha cheers Dave
Cant beat a ham and pease pud stottie with english mustard . Love it
My friend makes little patties with them and frys them with his breakfast .
All the best from newcastle upon tyne . Good vid keep up the good work .

Cheers Keith
Hi I'm from Newcastle and we used to eat pease pudding with ham in a stotty sandwich or just on a plate with salad cold meats and bread absolutely delicious
Keep up the lovely videos I watch every day as I now live in Spain
Lovely regards Eileen x
Thanks for sharing!!
Ahhh man. Nothing better than a pease pudding and ham sarnie for your bait. Best fresh from a deli but I was brought up with the tinned stuff in the sixties 👍
Cheers Brian.
Chill,,,cut into thick slices,,, lightly fry with crispy bacon,top with an egg,,,,,,,east end 1960 breakfast!! My mum loved it ❤️
Thanks for the tips!
There’s an old Nursery Rhyme to that. Must give a try, probably had this when I was little, and would still like, I’m a Yorkshire Lass who loves her Mushy Peas.
